Question Blind Spot Mirrors?

Cool/small Blind Spot mirrors? Does anyone know of a website or store that has super small ones that will look good on a RX-8? Note: looking for the stick-on convex type for the side mirrors, not the extra mirrors for inside the car. thanks for any help.

also before you buy the mirrors read this thread and follow kwolfmans directions for adjusting the side mirrors. please if you dont already do it this way try it. you will be suprised at how well it works to eliminate the blind spot. i have been doing that for a long time and have no problems seeing in my 8.

I have tried that as well- but it does not work for me to back up and see the curb during parallel-parking! and with these rims....yeah BASICALLY my convex mirror basically helps my peripheral vision catch fast moving objects just my two lincoln heads

The 8 is pretty good for visibility compared to other sports cars. As Zoom44 pointed out it is critical to adjust your mirrors properly. This holds for any car

I use the tiny round mirrors that you can buy at any auto store, walmart, kmart, etc.

I looked, didn't see anyone, but a mustang zoomed over and I would have ran into him if he didn't react as quickly as he did, getting out of the lane I was moving into.

After that I knew I needed the mirrors. I have had them on all my cars and trucks prior.

Visibility isn't as bad as some sports cars, but it's definately not great with the rear windows.
